And of course redhat makes things as complex as possible:

# See how we were called.
case "$0" in
  *halt)
        message="The system is halted"
        command="halt"
        ;;
  *reboot)
        message="Please stand by while rebooting the system..."
        command="reboot"
        ;;
  *)
        echo "$0: call me as \"rc.halt\" or \"rc.reboot\" please!"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

(bunch of stuff for killing off processes, unmounting filesystems and
misc other things cut out)

# Now halt or reboot.
echo "$message"
if [ -f /fastboot ]; then
 echo "On the next boot fsck will be skipped."
elif [ -f /forcefsck ]; then
 echo "On the next boot fsck will be forced."
fi

HALTARGS="-i -d"
if [ -f /poweroff -o ! -f /halt ]; then
 HALTARGS="$HALTARGS -p"
fi

eval $command $HALTARGS
